Default Vectra Drivers!

Dont know why but they piss me right off! Please discuss.

Had one thinking he was special on the way home from work late night. Trying to provoke a race in traffic. Also i new Civic TR trying to kiss my pipe.

Maybe people get upset with me driving home with the top down. It is freezing after all.

I hate anything by Vauxhall, nearly as much as I do people who post in the wrong forum.

Perfect observation on Vectra owners..... came across a real fool in a 07 reg one this morning.

Around here I assume they are hire car delivery drivers because we are close to Gatwick.

I can't believe anyone would actually choose to drive one.

It's funny how certain cars get noticed more than others when they are driven badly

I suspect it's partly because Vectra's have been used as a rep-mobile by so many firms, that they are driven with little or no care. I think the same could be said about the BMW 3 series as well.

IME, Vectras are all old and driven by old people in the manner one would expect.

I also have to defend BMW drivers; I've noticed a disproportionate amount seem to be well-driven and indicate correctly. I have two possible theories about this:

1. The reputation is rubbing off on owners and they've been embarrassed into improving.

2. The cars are such that only their mothers, or true drivers could live with the styling; all the meat-heads have thus migrated to Audi.

O/T, the Vectra is henceforth going to be named after down-market toiletries from the 1980s, which is perhaps appropriate.

A mature unemotional considered reply, ignoring the cliche ridden tendency to generalise & stereotype drivers v cars.
Note the word 'generalise', for there is evidence that SOME BMW drivers are arrogant, Volvo drivers old plodders, Mondeo drivers are all Reggie Reps, Rover drivers all smoke pipes, & van drivers are yobs.
But there are exceptions, it's just that many choose to ignore them in order to substantiate & justify their biased views.

Much is based on snobbery & jealousy at which this country excels. Sadly one is judged by the car you drive, the size of your house, the most obscure destinations chosen for holidays, & a pretentious job title.

Any car is capable of being driven by twats.

Vauxhalls are driven by twats. I upset an army of them on Pistonheads the other day, and it only confirmed my point.
